G                                   
It's not just the bedroom where she used to lay her head

                                            D7  
Or the front room by the fire where we once passed the night instead

       G                                   C
Though I have left these rooms and gone as far as I could drive

G                        D7  G
Even in the motels along U S 405

 
                   D7      G
Coast to coast and wall to wall

                                           D7
It's a memory not much more than five feet tall

        G                                C
But the shadow that it's casting seem to fall

G        D7                G
Coast to coast and wall to wall

 
        
California seems like someplace I could catch my breath

                                  D7
Get my mind off someone who still worries me to death

     G                            C
Even though she's gone her memory unlocks every door

G                              D7         G
Haunts me now in places I have never seen before

  
                   D7      G
Coast to coast and wall to wall

                                           D7
It's a memory not much more than five feet tall

        G                                C
But the shadow that it's casting seem to fall

G        D7                G
Coast to coast and wall to wall

 
E7                              C
I'm rolling down the highway or strolling down the hall 

     A7                                 D7
When things are going my way and then a memory comes to call

 
                   D7      G
Coast to coast and wall to wall

                                           D7
It's a memory not much more than five feet tall

        G                                C
But the shadow that it's casting seem to fall

G        D7                G
Coast to coast and wall to wall
